I don't see any mentioning of NickServ in that document. I looked in the source code and found this: "Use PASSWD as user password on the server." The variable erc-session-password is then set to PASSWORD and then when erc-login is called it sends the value as "PASS" to the server. I'm not sure where erc-login is actually called as I'm not that familiar with ERC myself but I definitely think the password parameter is for authenticating to the IRC server. --=20 Deniz Dogan
